LED Scanner ATOM Matrix ESP32
In this tutorial we are going to make a Simple LED Scanner using Atom Matrix ESP32.
What You Will Need
- ATOM Matrix ESP32 More info
- Visuino program: Download Visuino
Start Visuino, and Select the Atom Matrix Board Type
Start Visuino as shown in the first picture Click on the "Tools" button on the Arduino component (Picture 1) in Visuino When the dialog appears, select "Atom Matrix" as shown on Picture 2
In Visuino Add Components
- Add 2X "Compare Integer Value" component
- Add "Clock Generator" component
- Add "Integer Value" component
- Add "Clock Demux(Multiple Output channel Switch)" component
- Add "Up/Down Counter" component
- Add "Integer Multi Source" component
In Visuino Set Components
- Select "M5 Stack ATOM Matrix" board in the properties window expand "Modules">"RGB Matrix">"Elements" and click on the 3 dots button
- In the "Elements" window drag "Draw Line" to the left side and in the properties window set "Color" to "aclRed" and Select "Y" & click on the Pin Icon and select "Integer SinkPin"
- In the "Elements" window drag another "Fill Screen" to the left side
- Close the "Elements" window
- Select "ClockGenerator1" and in the properties window set "Frequency" to 6
- Double click on the "IntegerValue1" and in the "Elements" window drag "Set Value" to the left side
- in the "Elemernts" window drag another "Set Value" to the left side & in the Properties window set "Value" to 1
- Close the "Elements" window
- Select "UpDownCounter1" and in the Properties window set "Max"> "Value" to 4 and "Min">"Value" to 0
- Select "IntegerMultiSource1" and in the Properties window set "Output Pins" to 5
Wiring
- Connect "CompareValue1" pin [Out] to "IntegerValue1" > "Set Value1" pin [Clock]
- Connect "CompareValue2" pin [Out] to "IntegerValue1" > "Set Value2" pin [Clock]
- Connect "IntegerValue1" pin [Out] to "ClockDemmux1" pin [Select]
- Connect "ClockGenerator1" pin [Out] to "ClockDemmux1" pin [In]
- Connect "ClockDemmux1" pin [0] to "UpDownCounter1" pin [Down]
- Connect "ClockDemmux1" pin [1] to "UpDownCounter1" pin [Up]
- Connect "UpDownCounter1" pin [Out] to "IntegerMultiSource1" pin [In]
- Connect "IntegerMultiSource1" pin [0] to to "M5 Stack ATOM Matrix" > "RGB Matrix" > "Fill Screen1" pin[Clock]
- Connect "IntegerMultiSource1" pin [1] to to "M5 Stack ATOM Matrix" > "RGB Matrix" > "Draw Line1" pin[Y]
- Connect "IntegerMultiSource1" pin [2] to to "M5 Stack ATOM Matrix" > "RGB Matrix" > "Draw Line1" pin[Clock]
- Connect "IntegerMultiSource1" pin [3] to to "CompareValue1" pin[Clock]
- Connect "IntegerMultiSource1" pin [4] to to "CompareValue2" pin[Clock]
Generate, Compile, and Upload the Arduino Code
In Visuino, at the bottom click on the "Build" Tab, make sure the correct port is selected, then click on the "Compile/Build and Upload" button.
Play
If you power the ATOM Matrix module The Display will start to show the Red colored Scanning effect.
